I love fingerless gloves. They are my favorite accessory – and knitting project. They are fun to knit and wear, and on top of that they are so versatile – especially in terms of construction, which shows off nicely, if you use variegated or self-striping yarn.
These mitts are constructed in seven parts, each of which either starting with a provisional CO or by picking up stitches from the edge, and some are finished by a three-needle BO (three times) and (the last one) by grafting in garter stitch.
This means that the mitts are knitted in one piece each – so you only have to weave in two ends for each glove.
The pattern is available on
This pattern PDF is 13 pages long and contains
- written row-by-row instructions for knitting these fingerless gloves in one size – including 21 photos of the different stages
- explanations how to adapt the pattern to other sizes
- a schematic how the mitts are constructed
- short photo tutorials of the following techniques:
- provisional cast-on and how to undo it
- three-needle bind-off
- picking up and knitting stitches from the edge of your knitting
- picking up stitches from gaps (e.g. necessary after changes in direction)
- short rows with wrap and turn
- grafting in garter stitch
To knit these fingerless gloves you need the following materials:
- about 35 to 40 grams of fingering weight yarn
- 3mm needles, for fingerless gloves such as these, I tend to switch between dpns and circulars, but it's possible to use either of them
- one surplus knitting needle (of the same size (3mm))
- scrap yarn and a crochet hook (about 3mm) for the provisional COs
- a stitch holder for the thumb stitches (scrap yarn works well, too)
- 3 stitch markers and a tapestry needle to weave in ends
